Community newspapers have a place in our collective histories. Not only do they record events as they happen, but they are looked back upon as historical accounts of real events years after the fact.
Kootenay historian Greg Nesteroff guest curates the exhibit Kootenay News at the Touchstones Nelson Museum of Art and History, from Nov. 2 until Feb. 17.
The exhibit will present the story of Nelson’s print media, from a weekly hand-cranked paper to a bustling daily with a circulation larger than the city it served, to today’s online publications.
